NATIONAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

“Education in Malaysia is an on-going effort towards further

developing the potential of individuals in a holistic and

integrated manner, so as to produce individuals who areintellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically

balanced and harmonious, based on a belief in and devotion

to God. Such effort is designed to produce Malaysian

citizens who are knowledgeable and competent, who possess

high moral standards, and who are responsible and capableof achieving a high level of personal well-being as well as

being able to contribute to the betterment of the family, the

society and the nation at large.”



FOREWORD

This revised Biology syllabus is designed to replace the existing syllabus which has been in use since

the 2001 STPM examination. This new syllabus will be enforced in 2012 and the first examinationwill also be held the same year. The revision of the syllabus takes into account the changes made by

the Malaysian Examinations Council (MEC) to the existing STPM examination. Through the newsystem, the form six study will be divided into three terms, and candidates will sit for an examinationat the end of each term. The new syllabus fulfils the requirements of this new system. The main

objective of introducing the new examination system is to enhance the teaching and learning

orientation of form six so as to be in line with the orientation of teaching and learning in colleges and

universities.

The revision of the Biology syllabus incorporates current developments in biology studies to be more

relevant to the current global developments. Biology is a science that deals with the study of living

organisms. It is dynamic and affects every aspect of our daily lives, from food and health, to the

responsibilities towards our environment. The cumulative discoveries and developments in biology

have tremendously enhanced our understanding and perception towards both the unity and diversity oflife. With this understanding, we have become more aware of our interdependence with our rich

biodiversity and natural resources. The application of biology together with modern technologies

leads to the evolution of biotechnology. Furthermore, the assessment tools of this syllabus consist of

written papers and coursework. The written papers evaluate candidates’ knowledge and understandingof the subject, while the coursework provides an opportunity for candidates to trigger their inquisitive

biological reasoning. This also enhances their understanding and application of biological sciencesand develops the candidates’ soft skills.

The syllabus contains topics, teaching periods, learning outcomes, examination format, grade

description and specimen papers.

The design of this syllabus was undertaken by a committee chaired by Professor Emeritus Dato’ Dr.

Latiff bin Mohamad from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Other committee members consist ofuniversity lecturers, representatives from the Curriculum Development Division, Ministry of

Education Malaysia, and experienced teachers who are teaching Biology. On behalf of MEC,

I would like to thank the committee for their commitment and invaluable contribution. It is hoped thatthis syllabus will be a guide for teachers and candidates in the teaching and learning process.

The Practical Syllabus

School-based Assessment of Practical

School-based assessment of practical work will be carried out throughout the form six school termsfor candidates from government schools and private schools which are approved by the MEC to carryout the school-based assessment of practical work.

MEC will determine 15 compulsory experiments to be carried out by the candidates and to beassessed by the subject teachers in the respective terms. Details of the title, objective, learning

outcome, introduction, material, apparatus and procedure of each of the experiments will be specified

in the Teacher’s and Student’s Manual for Practical Biology which can be downloaded from MEC’s Portal (http://www.mpm.edu.my) by the subject teacher during the first term of form six.

Candidates should be supplied with a work scheme before the day of the compulsory experiment

so as to enable them to plan their practical work. Each experiment is expected to last one school

double period. Assessment of the practical work is done by the subject teachers during the practical

sessions and also based on the practical reports. The assessment should comply with the assessmentguidelines prepared by MEC.

A repeating candidate may use the total mark obtained in the coursework for the subsequentSTPM examination. Requests to carry forward the moderated coursework mark should be made

during the registration of the examination.

During the practical session, candidates should be able to:

(a) make observations on living, preserved specimens and models, and record them accuratelyin writing or by using clear drawings or diagrams,

(b) identify morphological features of specimens as a basis for their classification,

(c) carry out dissection, display and illustrate the result,(d ) stain and mount specimens for microscopic examination,

(e) identify and illustrate the specimens observed under light microscope,

Experiment 1

Title: Determination of the osmotic potential of plant cells

Objectives: To determine the osmotic potential of the potato cell sap.

Learning Outcome: At the end of the experiment, the candidates should be able to

(i) prepare solutions of various molarities from a stock solution.

(ii) tabulate the results and plot graphs.

(iii) analyse and interpret experimental results.

Introduction:

Osmotic potential of a cell refers to the amount of solute dissolved in the cell sap, containing mostly

water and be the main cause to its osmotic concentration. The difference in osmotic concentration

inside the cell and its surrounding is called a concentration gradient. Movement of water moleculesvia semi permeable membrane occurs from a region of higher water concentration (low osmotic

potential) to a region of lower water concentration (high osmotic potential).

Materials and apparatus:

(i) 1.0 M sucrose solution

(ii) Distilled water

(iii) Potato

(iv) Large test tubes

(v) Beakers

(vi) Ruler

(vii) Filter paper

(viii) Petri dish with cover

(ix) Marker pen

(x) Cork-borer

(xi) Single-edge blade

(xii) White tile

(xiii) Graph paper

(xiv) Dissecting needle/Mounted needle

(xv) 25 ml measuring cylinder

(xvi) Fine forceps

(xvii) 10 ml pipette

(xviii) Analytical balance

964/4




103

Procedure:

1. Prepare 20 ml of 0.1 M, 0.2 M, 0.3 M, 0.4 M and 0.5 M sucrose solutions from 1.0 M stock

solution in labelled test tubes. Use the following formula to assist you in preparing yourdilution.

2. Record the volume of the stock solution and distilled water used in each dilution in Table 1.

3. Prepare 15 cylindrical strips of potato tissues using a cork-borer. Cut the strips to a uniformlength.

4. Take 3 potato strips, record their average initial length and weight and place them into the testtube containing 0.1 M sucrose solution. Note down the texture of the potato strips.

5. Repeat step 4 using 0.2 M, 0.3 M, 0.4 M and 0.5 M sucrose solutions and wait for 30 minutes.

6. Plot a standard curve of the osmotic potential against the molarities of the sucrose solutionsusing the data given below.

Molarity (M) 0.05 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.55

Osmotic potential (in atmosphere)

1.3 2.6 4.0 5.3 6.7 8.1 9.6 11.1 12.6 14.3 16.0

7. After 30 minutes, remove the strips with the dissecting needle/mounted needle provided. Dry

the strips gently with filter paper and record their average final length and weight.

8. Note down any changes to the texture of the potato strips.

9. Create your own table to record the results. (Table 2)

10. Plot another graph of the average change in the length of the potato strips against the molarities

of the sucrose solution used.

11. Use both the graphs to determine the osmotic potential of the potato cell sap.

3 A researcher carried out a cross on pea plants to determine the inheritance of seed forms. Hecrossed pure line wrinkled seed with pure line smooth seed to produce F1 generation and subsequently

F2 generation. A total of 250 plants were produced in F 2 generation, 59 with wrinkled seeds and 191

with smooth seeds. The diagram below illustrates the crosses.

3 Seorang penyelidik telah membuat kacukan terhadap pokok kacang pea untuk menentukan perwarisan bentuk biji. Beliau mengkacukkan baka tulen biji yang berkedut dengan baka tulen biji

licin untuk menghasilkan generasi F1 dan seterusnya generasi F2. Sebanyak 250 tumbuhan telah

dihasilkan dalam generasi F2, 59 dengan biji berkedut, dan 191 dengan biji licin. Gambar rajahdi bawah menunjukkan kacukan tersebut.
